“I am all Yours, Lord Jesus, and everything I have is Yours through the Immaculate Heart of Mary.”
“Consecration to the Mother of God,” says Pope Pius XII, “is a total gift of self, for the whole of life and for all eternity; and a gift which is not a mere formality or sentimentality, but effectual, comprising the full intensity of the Christian life – Marian life.” This consecration, the Pope explained, “tends essentially to union with Jesus, under the guidance of Mary.”
By our consecration we promise to become dependent on Mary in all things: to offer all our prayers and oblations to God through Mary, and to seek every gift from God through Mary. And we do this with the greatest confidence. Since she is our mother, she knows our needs better than we; and since she is Queen of Heaven, she has immediate access to the infinite treasury of graces in the Kingdom of her Divine Son.
Through our consecration, we give everything to Jesus through the Immaculate Heart of Mary. We give every gift, blessing and grace and every struggle, and challenge too. We give our prayers and actions. We give our hearts, souls, minds and bodies to Jesus in full and total trust through the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Renew your consecration today and every day. If you haven’t Consecrated yourself to Jesus through Mary look up Father Michael Gaitley’s book “33 Days to Morning Glory” and start now.
Total Consecration to Jesus through Mary truly is the “surest, easiest, shortest, and the most perfect means to becoming a saint.” St Louis DeMontfort
Consecration renewal prayer:
O Mary, my Mother and my Queen,
I give mysef entirely to thee.
And to show my devotion to thee,
I consecrate to thee this day,
my eyes, my ears, my mouth, my heart,
and my whole being. without reserve.
Wherefore, O loving Mother,
since I am thine,
keep me and guard me as
thy property and possession.
